Millk chugging, mylar, slow motion resonance, filling and being filled; these are just a few of the images that flood AORTA films’s first feature, The Oh Files, starring Parts Authority, Ginny Woolf, Erykah Ohms, Xposed Brick, and Toxic Shock. For more information about The OH Files and production stills (NSFW) please click here.

IDGY DEAN is the solo music project of Brooklynite Lindsay Sanwald. All songs are composed alone, then looped live on stage. Her first full-length record, OMINOUS HARMINUS (made in conjunction with the A.O. Movement Collective's ETLE Universe), features prominently in the AOMC's performance of ETLE and the Anders, for which Lindsay is the composer and live musician. In addition to her performances in ETLE and the Anders, on September 30th Idgy Dean will perform special show following the AOMC's Benefit Performance. Idgy Dean will be getting extra wild (since it's her birthday party) while premiering new sound and vision experiences from her new full-length record OMINOUS HARMINUS. In short, a psychedelic dance party! Featuring opening sets from special guests to be announced September 1st.

LET YOURSELF BE FILLED // LET YOUR FUTURE SELF DO THE FILLING.

This space is an opportunity to let time travel play out through your sexuality and body, a chance for faeries, mythical creatures, extraterrestrials, and unknowable beings to frolic together in the ETLE Universe. Look through the branches of the Forest of the Future and catch a glimpse of what your body will look like — and do — a hundred or a thousand years from now. Meet someone new and love them the way you will when you’ve known each other for a lifetime. Be the person you will be when all the cities have become mausoleums and the green bits and four-legged creatures have returned to dominance. What will your sex look like when the eternities of a regenerating earth are opened up before you? How will it feel to inhabit our reinvented bodies in a post-scarcity world? In Futuref2ck, the present and future blend together in a whirl of erotic energy and consensual, compassionate touch.

+ Workshops, Talks, & Readings

Join us at Loft 172 for a collection of talks, panels, and readings! Workshops are paid events on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. All talks and readings are free and open to the public, and directly precede or follow a performance or screening (as noted.) The Universe’s bar, rooftop, and gallery will also be open during these times.

+ Workshop / The Art of the Looping Pedal:Musical Infinity, Limits, Feminism, Chaos and Order with IDGY DEAN

Join the ETLE Universe's resident musical artist IDGY DEAN in a rich intellectual discussion on the theory and practice behind her main instrument: the looping pedal. First, a basic demonstration of how her little blue box works---a recording/sampling device that allows a single musician to build multi-instrument compositions live and on the fly without the support of a band or backing tracks. Then, a discourse on all the implications and ideas that spring from this instrument: time manipulation, palimpsest, the feminist revolution and what it means to be a one-woman-band, narcissism, the cyborg glitch, infinity and its limits, chaos, order and so much more.

Join us for a post-screening talkback with performers Parts Authority, Ginny Woolf, Xposed Bric, Erykah Ohms, Toxic Shock, creator Sarah A.O. Rosner, and editor Jacqueline Mary. Panelists will discuss the decision to create pornography as one work of the ETLE Universe, their experience participating in its creation, and question the radicalism and use of pornography as both art and not-art.

+ Workshop / Future Metal: A welding workshop with Abigail LLoyd

Join us for a pre-show talk with ETLE Universe collaborators Sarah A.O. Rosner (creator of the ETLE Universe), Maria Baranova (photographer), Martha Hipley (illustrator), and Poppy Lyttle (illustrator).

+ Reading / Monstrous Futures: Writing Among ETLE - FREE!

Join science fiction futurists, visionaries, and authors for an hour-long reading in and among the monstrous future. Which time are you in? Which future are you in? Which change are you part of? Which side do you see? Curated by Damien Luxe.

What will you do? The members of http://scifiaction.club/ put out a call for participants for the following situation, "Three days ago, there was a large earthquake that cuts off power, destabilizing the eastern seaboard. We arrive at a community action meeting the morning of the event." This past August, a group gathered to LARP using values and tactics gleaned from radical science fiction. Learn about this project and talk generally about sci-fi skills for anti-oppressive survival.

+ The future is female / Caitlin Rose Sweet + Andre Azevedo

+ Mostly I remember the madness of feeling / Abigail Lloyd

A space defined by multi-media crystals. After the VFR, rebel THIC found this place in their quiet and despair--a place away from time, an entryway to whatever was next. Like these crystals, the language of this place is warped, melted, strewn. The space can hold hysteria and madness outside of constraint--we are not scared of it here--this space can hold the welling of what can't articulate itself in linear form. mostly i remember the madness of feeling holds the coalescence of unnamed thoughts, rage, and sadness; it is the gate to what comes after.
